This curriculum unit provides a unit plan and lesson outline to help Insect Investigators to engage with insect biodiversity in their local environment. The activities in this unit have been aligned with the content descriptors for Biological Sciences in grades 4–7 and each lesson outline includes the objective and anticipated outcomes broken down into simple statements and checkpoints for knowledge, understanding and skills to help clarify the curriculum requirements.
Whilst the resources and tasks sheets have been designed with year levels 4-7 in mind, there is scope for teachers to adapt the lesson plans, task sheets and activities for any year level.
This resource is designed specifically for teachers running a Malaise trap in 2022; find the general Teacher Resource here.
